Knight Ridder Washington
Mark Seibel, of the Knight Ridder
Washington bureau, has these two job
postings:
Moscow
Correspondent
The Knight Ridder
Washington Bureau is looking for a correspondent
to staff its bureau in Moscow.
This is a position
with responsibility for covering the whole of the
former Soviet Union, from Eastern Europe to Central
Asia. An ability to stay
on top of events in many diverse countries is
essential, as is a willingness
to travel frequently and on short notice, often
under less than ideal
conditions.
The correspon dent
also may be called on to assist in coverage of
other regions, particularly the Middle East and
South Asia. Hazardous
assignments are likely, and hostile environment
training will be required.
The successful
candidate will have a demonstrated ability to tell
many
kinds of stories _ breaking news as well as stories
that explore economic
and cultural themes. Required skills include strong
reporting ability and
the ability to write clear, engaging and powerful
pieces.
While the
correspondent will be expected to communicate daily with
editors
in the Washington bureau, the successful candidate
will demonstrate an
ability to act autonomously _ setting, in
coordination with his editors, a
consistent reporting agenda that will interest
readers of Knight Ridder
newspapers and, when editors are unavailable, making
sound judgments about
coverage issues.
&nbs p; The correspondent
must be able to coordinate with graphic and photo
colleagues and with other Knight Ridder journalists
in the region and must
be comfortable managing local assistants and
interpreters as needed. The
correspondent will be expected to operate within a
budget, keep track of
expenses and file expense reports in a timely
fashion.
A minimum of 5 years'
reporting experience is required. Previous
experience
living and working abroad is a big plus, as is an
ability to speak Russian.
Preference will be given to candidates from Knight
Ridder newspapers.
Interested candidates
should e-mail Mark Seibel at
mseibel@krwashington.com and attach a resume and
five work samples.
Mideast
Correspondent
The Knight Ridder
Washington Bureau is looking for a Mideast
Correspondent to staff its bureau in Jerusalem,
Israel.
This position's
primary responsibility is covering Israel and the
Palestinian territories, but the correspondent may
be required to travel to
nearby countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, and
Iraq, and write from Israel
on topics that have broad impact on Middle Eastern
affairs.
An ability to stay on
top of events in many diverse countries is
essential, as is a willingness to travel frequently
and on short notice,
often under less than ideal conditions. The
successful candidate will know
how to develop sources at a variety of levels and be
able to use them to
bring clarity to events that are complicated and
filled with nuance.
Hazardous assignments are likely, and hostile
environment training will be
required.
The successful
candidate will have a demonstrated ability to tell
many
kinds of stories _ the breaking news of war and
politics as well as those
that explore economic and cultural issues. Required
skills include strong
reporting ability and the ability to write clear,
engaging and powerful
pieces.
This beat is heavily
news driven, and the correspondent must excel
at, and enjoy, tracking developing news, finding
fresh angles on news
developments, and summarizing news developments to
provide context and
analysis.

Midweek
Part-time editorial assistant
(posted Feb 18, 2005)
MidWeek
is
hiring!
Here's a posting by MidWeek editor Don Chapman.
Part-time editorial assistant: this is an entry level, foot-in-the-door
position, and will include a lot of clerky duties, but also some
writing -- I believe in having a staff where everyone can and does
write. Duties include working on the calendar, so must be detail
oriented. Looking for solid journalism skills, and having a healthy
interest in local night life would be a plus. Hours will likely start
at 2 p.m. daily and could involve weekends.
Part-time photographer is also entry level, will work Friday nights and
weekends, probably plenty of Honolulu Pa'ina events, and the person
needs to have their own gear, preferably digital.
They'll each work 20 hours per week, no benefits, and contribute to
both MidWeek and MidWeek The Weekend.
Hope to have them both hired and on board within two weeks.
We have a great, cohesive staff of talented professionals with solid
work ethics who support one another and truly care about our
publications, and I'm looking to hire more people like that. It's a
very positive work environment.
If interested, please send your resume and clips to MidWeek editor Don
Chapman as soon as possible.
